《千年之痒》与知识分子的精神史

The Millennium Itch and the Spiritual History of Intellectuals

吴昕孺的长篇小说《千年之痒》讲述了知识分子乌去纱跨越少年、青年到中年的心路历程。乌去纱的生存变迁实则对应了生于20世纪70年代的知识分子的青春成长史、现代都市中的情爱史,以及在欲望时代中的命运史。《千年之痒》展现了20世纪80年代以来中国城乡社会与时代的发展变化,揭示了日常生活的本相和当代人的精神图景。

The Millennium Itch by Wu Xinru tells the intellectual journey of the intellectual Wu Qusha across his juvenile and youth to middle-age. The survival and transformation of Wu Qusha actually corresponds to the growth history of intellectuals born in the 1970 s,the history of love in modern cities,and the life history in the age of desire. The Millennium Itch shows the development and change of urban and rural areas,society and the times in China since the 1980 s,and reveals the essence of everyday life and the spiritual picture of contemporary people.
